Fast On-Site Installation
Speed controllers provide a necessary control mechanism to maintain a safe, measured pallet flow or speed as they advance down the lane. Acting as a sort of braking device, the speed controller slows the pallet and prevents it from gaining too much speed in the gravity-inspired process. Slowing the pallet provides better lane tracking which helps ensure that the pallet arrives squared with the lane opening at the pick face, thus facilitating a faster, easier forklift extraction.

With simple to access tools and few minutes of time, your pallet flow system can be enhanced with safety and efficiency boosting drop-in speed controllers.
What You'll Need:
- 1- 5” bolt
- 1- acorn nut
Tools: Wrench or Socket Wrench
Simple Process:
Place the speed controller in the opening between the wheels. Be sure the arrow is aligned with the direction of flow. Insert the bolt and snuggly tighten the acorn nut being careful to not overtighten. Repeat process for all speed controllers.
